Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel computer designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in automation environments. This unit integrates a flat-panel display with a full PC platform, providing a compact and robust solution for process visualization and control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and 64,000 colors. It is equipped with an Intel Celeron processor and runs on a Windows-based operating system, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI software packages. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (COM), and Ethernet ports, enabling integration with a wide range of automation and IT systems. It is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65-rated front face, protecting against dust and water ingress in industrial settings.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, process industries, and machine building where a full PC-based HMI platform is required. It is suitable for applications such as SCADA visualization, data logging, recipe management, and complex process control where standard HMI panels lack the computational power needed. Industries including automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and packaging commonly deploy this panel PC for supervisory control and advanced visualization tasks.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to a corrupted system partition or failed storage device.
Check the hard disk or Compact Flash card for errors. Restore the system image using the recovery partition or replace the storage medium if faulty.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — the HMI runtime application (e.g. WinCC flexible Runtime) has crashed unexpectedly.
Restart the runtime application. Check the application event log for details. Reinstall the HMI software if the issue persists.
Event ID: 1001: Application hang — the HMI runtime process stopped responding and was terminated by the operating system.
Review system resources (CPU and RAM usage). Close unnecessary background processes and ensure the runtime software version is compatible with the OS.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or controller, resulting in tag values freezing or showing error states.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify IP address configuration and firewall settings. Confirm the PLC is online and the communication driver is correctly configured in WinCC.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has detected that the operating system or application became unresponsive within the defined monitoring interval.
Investigate high CPU load or software deadlocks. Update or reinstall the runtime software. If the hardware watchdog triggers repeatedly, check for failing storage media or RAM.
Fan Failure Warning: The internal cooling fan has stopped or is running below the minimum required speed, risking overheating of the panel PC.
Inspect and clean the fan and ventilation slots. Replace the internal fan if it is not spinning. Ensure ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
Battery Low Warning: The CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage has dropped below the minimum threshold, which may cause loss of BIOS settings and real-time clock data after power loss.
Replace the internal CMOS backup battery (typically a CR2032 lithium cell). After replacement, re-enter BIOS settings and synchronize the system clock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0) support?

This Panel PC is designed to run Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional as its operating system, and is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for industrial panel PCs in the SIMATIC family.

What is the front panel protection rating of this Panel PC?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0 is rated IP65, providing full protection against dust and resistance to water jets, making it suitable for industrial environments.

Can the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 be used with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 can communicate with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet (using PROFINET or S7 protocol) or via MPI/PROFIBUS with an appropriate communication card.

Does this unit have a touch screen?

The 6AV7613-0AA10-0AG0 in the base configuration does not include a touch screen; it is typically operated via keyboard and mouse. Touch screen variants are available in other configurations of the Panel PC 670 family.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that the 24 V DC supply is present and within tolerance at the power input connector. Verify that the internal power supply LED indicators show normal status. Attempt to connect an external monitor via the VGA port to determine if the issue is with the display or the PC board.

If the external monitor shows output, the internal display or backlight inverter may be faulty — replace the display unit. If no output is seen on the external monitor, the main board or power supply module requires inspection or replacement.

Panel PC boots to BIOS but does not load the operating system

The storage medium (hard disk or Compact Flash card) may be corrupted or has failed. Enter the BIOS setup and confirm the boot device is detected and listed correctly in the boot order.

Restore the operating system using the Siemens recovery image on the recovery partition or a recovery CD. If the storage device is not detected, replace the hard disk or Compact Flash card and reinstall the OS and HMI software.

Touchscreen (if equipped) does not respond or is misaligned

The touch controller calibration may have been lost, or the USB/serial connection between the touch overlay and the motherboard may be loose. Check Device Manager for touch controller driver errors.

Re-run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows control panel or Siemens ProSave tool. If the device is not recognized, reseat the internal touch controller cable and reinstall the driver.

HMI runtime software loses communication with the PLC intermittently

Check the Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Use the ping command to verify network connectivity to the PLC IP address. Review the WinCC diagnostic log for communication timeout entries.

Replace any faulty network cables or switch ports. Ensure the PLC and Panel PC are on the same subnet with correct IP settings. Adjust the communication timeout parameters in the WinCC project if the network has high latency.

System clock resets to incorrect date and time after each power cycle

This indicates the CMOS backup battery is depleted. Enter the BIOS after power-on to confirm the date and time are incorrect and that the battery warning is present.

Replace the internal CMOS battery (typically CR2032). After replacement, set the correct date and time in the BIOS and save the settings before exiting.
